via email from my auntie:

Paddy has not lost his sense of humor, recently he was in the exercise room on a bed with three women, all exercising at the same time. When he got back to his room the nurse asked how his therapy went and he said “that’s the least amount of fun I have had in bed with three women” needless to say it went around the floor in about five minutes, if not around the whole hospital. He took a huge teasing over that. He is doing very well.

Thanks to everyone who spent a moment manifesting a happy thought.
